Binary search is a pretty obvious algorithm.
While translocation is cool, this certainly isn't a novel case and Robertsonian translocations are covered in undergrad genetics courses. Well written if not for the way that it starts off, making it sound like the…
Open an incognito window in Chrome, don't log in to your google account, and search there.
I've yet to hear someone define what useful, diverse set of results is that has been filtered from them; they simply state that the sites that they see on Google, FB, et al. are filtered and that some other filtered…
You don't have to put quotation marks around hard; one of its definitions is an adjective meaning painful or difficult to endure.
I've never stopped reading something faster than I did after I got to "'Feels like' is an important disclaimer here." and glanced up to see that it was written by Sarah Lacy. Dear Sarah: don't worry, I think that London…
I've heard that larger banks and brokerages (not the underwriters) will start making shares available for shorting as early as Tuesday, which should help ease the share price down.
> Is it my lack of energy or the piece does not read well. I had to backtrack a few times to see what she's talking about. That phenomena is endemic to TC posts.
I haven't been able to follow the story as closely as I would have liked. Did TEPCO actively deny meltdowns and leakages, or did they just not confirm them? I thought that it was the latter, but could have missed overt…
As someone who has had research written about in popular media, I would bet an enormous amount of money at very unfavorable odds that the words "it couldn't be done" were not uttered by the CS researchers but instead…
Ah, that does seem to follow from the quoted section. Thanks for referencing it, I appreciate it. It's a big bummer as a potential Twitter-hacker, too. I can see why they wouldn't want clients & add-ons to surface…
> I recently had to make changes to my own service because the Twitter API policy team didn't like me telling people who unfollowed them. Just curious: which section of the Twitter API ToS do you read as restricting…
Regardless of how you want to parse a company's public statements and written policies, it's the height of naivete to think that a data host (ANY host) wouldn't share your data with law enforcement or has encrypted data…
There's a considerable difference between having a sense of entitlement and being rational.
Maybe I'm missing the point too, because I don't understand why he's arguing that Python and R should cater to people that don't want to use a programming language. Isn't that akin to arguing that C is too complicated…
Maybe tomorrow's? Today's revolutions are already organized on Facebook.
It was the first site blocked in our office yesterday when we installed the chrome extension!
In case anyone missed it the first time around, the nytimes mag had a pretty good writeup on Watson back in June -- might be worth instapapering and reading later if you're going to catch the broadcast this week:…
> there is absolutly NO reason why bing should have linked to those documents There is absolutely a reason. A user queried for a string, then followed a link. Biasing Bing's search results towards the followed links…
